  • These compounds are employed in b-fold or c-fold molar amounts, relative to the compound of the formula (3), and preferably also in a 0.1-fold to 1-fold molar excess.
  • the alkaline hydrolysis can be carried out using alkali metal hydroxides, carbonates or bicarbonates or ammonia or amines; the acid hydrolysis can be carried out using mineral acids, in particular hydrochloric or sulfuric acid.
  • a further possible means of preparing the compounds of the formula (1) consists in reacting the phthalocyaninesulfochlorides of the formula (3) with a compound of the formula ##STR10## detaching the protective group R 7 , for example acetyl, by hydrolysis, diazotizing the resulting amino group and then coupling the product with a coupling component of the formula ##STR11##
  • reaction with the compound of the formula (5) can then be carried out at the same time as the reaction with the compound of the formula (6), or subsequent to the coupling reaction.
  • the phthalocyaninesulfochlorides of the formula (3) which are used as starting compounds are known to those skilled in the art or can be prepared by processes known per se (reacting the metal phthalocyanine with chlorosulfonic acid and/or thionyl chloride at an elevated temperature) (see, for example, K. Venkataraman, The Chemistry of synthetic dyes, Volume V, page. 261 (1971), Academic Press, New York/London; F. M. Moser, A. L. Thomas, The phthalocyanines, Volume II, pages 20-22, CRC Press; 1983).
  • the compounds of the formula (4) are similarly known azo dyes, as a rule yellow azo dyes, having a free primary or secondary amino group.
  • the amino compounds of the formula (5) are generally known and are readily accessible.
  • the present invention also relates to the use of the phthalocyanine compounds of the formula (1), and also, if appropriate, mixtures of these compounds, for dyeing or printing fibre materials containing nitrogen and particularly fibre materials containing hydroxyl groups.
  • phthalocyanineazo dyes of the formula (1) are thus suitable for dyeing and printing fibre materials containing nitrogen or especially cellulosic fibre materials, preferably textile fibre materials composed of silk, wool or synthetic polyamides, and preferably composed of the cellulosic fibres, such as rayon, cotton or hemp.
  • the textile fibre materials can be in a very wide variety of processing states, for example as fibre, yarn, woven fabric or knitted fabric.
  • Level dyeings are obtained in brilliant green colour shades having good overall fastness properties, in particular good fastness properties to rubbing, wet processing, wet rubbing, perspiration and light. If necessary, the wet fastness properties, in particular the fastness to washing, of the resulting direct dyeings and prints can be improved appreciably by an after-treatment with so-called fixing agents.
  • the dyes, according to the invention, of the formula (1) can readily be combined with other dyes, in particular disperse dyes.
  • the dyes according to the invention exhibit an adequate stability to high temperatures and can thus be used for dyeing under the dyeing conditions for polyester fibres, i.e. at temperatures in the range from about 100° to 150° C., preferably from 110° to 130° C., from an aqueous liquor and at a pH of 4 to 7.5, preferably 5 to 7.
  • the provision of the dyes, according to the invention, of the formula (1) makes it possible to simplify considerably the dyeing of textile mixed fibres (mixed fabrics), for example those composed of polyester and cellulose fibres.
  • the dyeing, customary per se, of each type of fibre in a mixture of fibres in a separate operation using different dyeing conditions is thus no longer necessary.
  • the compounds, according to the invention, of the formula (1) are also suitable for the preparation of aqueous inks for ink jet printing.
  • Parts and percentages are by weight, unless stated otherwise. Parts by weight and parts by volume are in the same relation to one another as kilograms and liters. The temperatures are quoted in degrees centigrade.
  • the resulting dye is precipitated by means of 15 g of sodium chloride and is filtered off and washed first with 5% aqueous sodium chloride solution and then with ethanol until a colourless filtrate is obtained.
  • the dyes of the formulae ##STR13## can also be prepared analogously.
  • the dye is salted out by means of sodium chloride, filtered off, washed first with sodium chloride solution and then with ethanol and dried.
  • the resulting dye of the formula ##STR15## dyes cellulose and leather in brilliant bluish-tinged green shades of good fastness to light.
  • the pH is kept at a value of 8.5 to 8.7 during the reaction by adding 2N aqueous ammonia solution.
  • the resulting dyestuff is salted out by means of sodium chloride, filtered off and washed first with aqueous sodium chloride solution and then with ethanol. 60 parts of the crude dye of the formula ##STR16## are obtained after drying.
  • the dye dyes cellulose materials and leather in brilliant green shades of good fastness to light and, in particular after an after-treatment with cationic fixing agents, good wet fastness properties.
  • the suspension of the diazonium salt is then added dropwise at 0° to 4° C. to a solution of 22.9 parts of salicylic acid (sodium salt) in 200 parts of ice-water.
  • the pH of the reaction mixture is kept at a value of approx. 8.5 during the coupling reaction by adding 30% sodium hydroxide solution.
  • sodium chloride is added to the reaction solution, and the dye which has been salted out is filtered off, washed with sodium chloride solution and dried. This gives the dyestuff of the formula ##STR18## which dyes cellulose materials and leather in bluish-tinged, brilliant green shades of good fastness to light.
  • a fibre mixture composed of polyester and cotton 10 parts are introduced at approx. 50° C. into a dyebath containing 200 parts of water, a mixture of dyes consisting of 0.05 part of C.I. Disperse Yellow 99, 0.5 part of C.I. Disperse Blue 60 and 0.2 part of the dye according to Example 2, 0.4 part of ammonium sulfate and 0.2 part of an anionic dispersing agent (for example the formaldehyde condensation product of naphthalenesulfonic acid).
  • the pH of the dyebath is adjusted to a value of 5.5 with formic acid, 1 part of sodium sulfate decahydrate is added and the dyebath is then heated to approx. 130° C. in the course of 45 minutes.
  • Dyeing is continued for a further 45 minutes at 130° C. and the dyebath is then cooled to approx. 80° C. in the course of 30 minutes and is kept at this temperature for a further 45 minutes. The dyeing is then thoroughly rinsed with cold water and is dried.
  • Dyeing Instructions 1 or 2 The procedure described in Dyeing Instructions 1 or 2 is repeated, except that after the conclusion of the dyeing process the dyeing is put, after cold rinsing, into a fresh bath warmed to approx. 30° C. and containing 200 parts of water and 0.2-0.6 part of a cationic after-treatment agent (an amine-formaldehyde-dicyandiamide condensation product or a formulation based on dicyandiamide and diethylenetriamine).
  • a cationic after-treatment agent an amine-formaldehyde-dicyandiamide condensation product or a formulation based on dicyandiamide and diethylenetriamine.
  • Dyeing instructions 1 or 2 The procedure described in Dyeing instructions 1 or 2 is repeated, except that after the conclusion of the dyeing process the dyeing is put, after cold rinsing, into a fresh bath, warmed to approx. 25° C. and containing 200 parts of water, 1 part of sodium sulfate decahydrate and 0.6 part of a fibre-reactive, cationic after-treatment agent based on an N-methyldialkylamine and epichlorohydrin. The temperature is raised to 40° C. in the course of 15 minutes, 0.8 part of 30% sodium hydroxide solution is added and the dyeing is subjected to treatment for a further 45 minutes at 40° C. The dyeing is finally given a hot rinse and dried; it has improved wet fastness properties.
